Our attorneys have successfully tried and obtained not guilty verdicts for serious offenses involving sexual assault, homicide, drug crimes, violent crimes, domestic violence, juvenile crimes, and a wide array of others. Our skilled attorneys are also successful plea negotiators. Plea bargaining is an art. Our attorneys are experienced in plea negotiations and are prepared to vigorously argue at sentencing, if convicted of a crime, in order to get the least minimum penalty.

Our attorneys are well aware of your constitutional rights and protections. We are especially knowledgeable regarding your Fourth Amendment protection of the United States Constitution against unreasonable search and seizures by the Government, your Fifth Amendment protection of the United States Constitution to remain silent, and most importantly, your Sixth Amendment Protection of the United States Constitution to an attorney. If the Government’s conduct violates you or your loved one’s constitutional rights, the evidence obtained may be deemed inadmissible and your case dismissed. Our experienced attorneys are able to identify these issues and file the proper motions with the Court and perhaps eliminate the need for a trial and have the case dismissed in its entirety.

For our client’s convenience, our office is located directly across from the Brown County Courthouse. In addition, our criminal defense attorneys will travel to surrounding counties including Calumet, Door, Manitowoc, Marinette, Outagamie, Oconto, Shawano, Winnebago and others to make appearances and defend the rights of our clients.
